Health & Wellness Certification Program

Health & Wellness Certification Program

The United States is dealing with staggering healthcare costs—the majority of which are from chronic disease and preventative illness.  Medical professionals have been turning to alternative methods of treatment, specifically preventative measures of care.  One effective way to instill ongoing behavioral changes is through Health and Wellness Coaching.  These ambassadors of health can affect positive and lasting change with their clients and in their communities.

More and more medical professionals are recognizing the importance of Health Coaching as well.  According to U.S. News & World Report, “Many doctors are starting to partner with health coaches for their patients who are obese, diabetic or need to change their behaviors in order to improve their health and keep lifestyle-related illnesses at bay.”

The Soma Institute is dedicated to helping redefine healthcare in the United States through our comprehensive and innovative HWC Certification Program— Health and Wellness Coaching program.  Soma prepares graduates for rewarding and successful careers in coaching in many fields and areas, including: spas & gyms, private practices, doctors’ offices, sports teams, and more.
